Dear Congressman Delay:

It has been reported by the Associated Press that you are, on behalf of the National Republican Congressional Committee, selling meetings with Bush Administration officials for $20,000 donations. If this report is correct (copy attached), your activity is illegal under the following U.S. Code statutory provisions, and we respectfully request that you immediately cease and desist.

18 USC § 201 (Bribery of Public Officials and Witnesses); and/or

18 USC § 600 (Promise of Employment or Other Benefit for Political

Activity).

Please confirm within 24 hours if the Associated Press report is true. If it is true, and you do not acknowledge having ceased and desisted, Judicial Watch will pursue swift legal action against you and the National Republican Congressional Committee.

Sincerely,

JUDICIAL WATCH, INC.
